Frequently Asked Questions

What DNS record types does this tool query?

This tool queries all major DNS record types in a single lookup: A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), MX (mail servers), NS (name servers), TXT (text records including SPF/DKIM/DMARC), CNAME (aliases), SOA (start of authority), and CAA (certificate authority authorization).

What is an SOA record?

The SOA (Start of Authority) record contains administrative information about a DNS zone, including the primary name server, the email of the domain administrator, the zone serial number, and timers for refresh, retry, expire, and minimum TTL.

What is a CAA record?

CAA (Certificate Authority Authorization) records specify which certificate authorities are allowed to issue SSL/TLS certificates for a domain, preventing unauthorized CAs from doing so.

Why would a record type show zero results?

Not all domains have every record type. For example, a root domain typically won't have a CNAME, many domains don't have AAAA (IPv6) or CAA records, and some may not have MX records if they don't handle email.

How are the queries performed?

All queries are made client-side using Cloudflare's DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) resolver. Each record type is queried in parallel for fast results.

Complete Guide: How to Use the Full DNS Record Lookup

Retrieve every DNS record type for a domain in a single comprehensive query. Our tool checks A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA, CNAME, and more — giving you a complete picture of a domain's DNS configuration in one place. Ideal for DNS audits, domain analysis, and troubleshooting.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Enter a domain name

    Type the domain you want to analyze (e.g., example.com). The tool queries all record types simultaneously.

  2. 2

    Wait for results

    The tool performs parallel queries for A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA, CNAME, SRV, and PTR records.

  3. 3

    Review the complete DNS profile

    All records are organized by type with values, TTL, and priority (for MX). Empty record types show 'No records found'.

  4. 4

    Export or analyze

    Copy the full DNS profile for documentation, or click individual records for detailed analysis.

Common Use Cases

  • DNS audit — get a complete snapshot of a domain's DNS configuration for review
  • Domain acquisition — understand the full DNS setup of a domain before purchasing
  • Migration planning — document all existing DNS records before migrating to a new provider
  • Security review — check for CAA records, SPF/DMARC in TXT, and unexpected entries
  • Documentation — capture the full DNS profile for infrastructure documentation
  • Competitive analysis — understand the DNS infrastructure (CDN, email, nameservers) of any domain

Pro Tips

💡CAA records control which Certificate Authorities can issue SSL certificates for your domain — check that they're correctly set.
💡SOA records contain the primary nameserver, admin email, serial number, and refresh/retry/expire timers.
💡Compare DNS records before and after migration to ensure nothing was missed.
💡Use this tool alongside our DNS Health Report for a comprehensive DNS audit.
